The Goldendale Municipal Airport has successfully implemented a new fuel cardlock system, significantly improving fuel access for local and visiting pilots. With the support of a grant from the Washington State Department of Transportation, the airport now offers 100 low lead AV gas at a competitive rate of $6. 25 per gallon. Since its installation in the summer of 2023, the cardlock system has been actively utilized, indicating its importance to the aviation community. This initiative not only streamlines the fueling process but also plays a crucial role in generating income for the City of Goldendale, enhancing the airport's economic viability.

The convenience of the cardlock system encourages more pilots to utilize the airport, which is vital for local tourism and business. As aviation operations evolve, this development reflects a commitment to meeting the needs of pilots and fostering regional growth. The successful implementation of the system showcases the effective collaboration between local authorities and state agencies. Such advancements position Goldendale Municipal Airport as a key player in the region's aviation landscape.
